How to livestream a company town hall
Step by step
- 1Plan the run of show
Who speaks, for how long, and when questions come in. Share it with speakers a week before.
- 2Check every speaker’s setup
Meet remote speakers backstage the day before, or at least 30 minutes early.
- 3Collect questions
Open questions before the event and during it. A moderator picks the best and puts them on screen.
- 4Run a poll or two
A quick poll at the start gets people involved, and the results show live.
- 5Add captions
Captions help people in noisy offices or other time zones, and anyone who is deaf or hard of hearing.
- 6Share highlights afterwards
Most people won’t watch a sixty-minute replay. Send the three answers that matter as short clips, with a summary.
Keep it internal
- Check where the stream goes and who can see the recording.
- Agree who approves clips and posts before they go out.
